5 trade-back targets for 49ers in NFL draft

WR Mike Williams, Clemson

If the 49ers like Williams, they’ll likely have to stay in the top-10 to select him. They may not need to do it as high as the second-overall pick, however.

The Tennessee Titans have plenty of draft capital, including two first-round picks this spring, after trading out of their first-overall pick from the 2016 draft. With the fifth-overall pick this year – acquired in last year’s trade with the Los Angeles Rams that netted the Rams Jared Goff – Tennessee can look to bolster their defense by grabbing a playmaker early.

Swapping with the 49ers to get in front of the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars may be Tennessee’s best play to ensure they get their guy. Simultaneously, the 49ers drop back three spots and would still able to select the best perimeter playmaker in the entire draft and a legit weapon that excels at making above-the-rim receptions.
